PHOTOS: JANELLE MONAE ANNOUNCED AS NEWEST COVERGIRL!

August 14th, 2012

Exciting news for singer-musician Janelle Monáe! She is now the newest face of the CoverGirl brand, joining singer Pink. Here’s what she said about the new campaign:

“I believe it’s time that women truly owned their superpowers and used their beauty and strength to change the world around them. One of my core values is to help redefine what it means to be a strong and beautiful woman in the music and fashion worlds and to empower the wonderful things that make us unique. Becoming a COVERGIRL is truly an honor and a gift: it opens up a new platform for me to inspire women to feel stronger, braver and more beautiful inside and out.”

BEAUTIFUL!! CONGRATS JANELLE!!

      she has perfected her own signature style and it’s working for her. the black, white and tailored suits are classic. she did not follow the same trend that the majority black celebs followed. she has even embraced the natural texture of her hair. that’s a rarity among black celebs, it makes her stand out from the rest. and on top of that she is talented and a pretty young lady, so kudos to her, continue marching to the beat of a different drummer.

    She loves to use words like: power, strong, beautiful, empower, women, superpower, unique, strength, beauty and brave. The only words she left out were: airbrushed, photoshopped, touched-up, stenciled, masked, doctored, enhanced, cropped and digital imaging.

    This is pretty big considering she’s natural. Janelle doesn’t have a perm so this is kind of risky for Covergirl and she’s way more conscious than what the masses would assume even with her occult themes.

      wow, had’nt read your comment but i just stated the same thing about her embracing her natural hair texture. it might be the main reason cover girl selected her. they are showing their openness and growth by conveying that beauty comes in all colors, shapes and textures. good looking out covergirl!

    THIS IS SOOOO AMAZING. WHO EVER CEMENTED THIS DEAL WITH JANELLE MONAE & PINK IS GENIUS! SO PROUD & HAPPY FOR JANELL MONAE (AND PINK). IT IS WONDERFUL THAT OUR LITTLE GIRLS WILL GET TO SEE BEAUTIFUL IMAGERY OF TWO WOMEN THAT DON’T NECCESSARILY FIT INTO THE “COOKIE CUTTER MOLD”. FINALLY, SOMETHING REFRESHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO!

    Not to be a stickler for grammar but, “She is now the newest face of the Covergirl brand, joinging singer Pink.” * Joining singer P!nk. But I’m excited for Janelle, she’s a talented person; maybe now she’ll be more recognized

    I like that cover girl isn’t picking the obvious beauties for their campaign. Janelle is going Pink…Queen Latifah…and Ellen D…very interesting, and different shades of beauty…congrats on the endorsement

    She reminds me of Dorothy Dandridge. Not so much in looks but she possesses that timeless beauty. Beautiful face and persona.
